Obtaining healthcare coverage.
We contacted them first by email and phone. Made an appointment to meet in person. All easily accomplished. Alan described in detail our options and then walked us through the process. Not only was he helpful regarding their options and processes, but he also was able to answer our many questions about the Irish healthcare system in general.

Renewing my Health Insurance
Alan Cleary was very clear with the information on renewing my health insurance and I was very happy that it will actually be a little cheaper than last year. He knows his business and I didn’t feel I was being robbed off with” that’s the best package/ price out there for your needs” as has happened in previous years.
Thank You Chloe — Outstanding Service
I rarely write reviews, but I genuinely wanted to acknowledge the excellent service Chloe Collins at McCarthy Insurance delivered for us over the last few days.
We had a fairly detailed and evolving home insurance situation involving rebuild values, outbuildings, contents levels, bicycles, valuables and underwriting questions. Throughout the process, Chloe was consistently patient, professional, responsive and calm — even as the questions became more detailed and time-sensitive approaching renewal.
What stood out most was not simply the quotations themselves, but the reassurance and clarity she brought to the process. Chloe took the time to repeatedly go back to underwriters, clarify details properly, explain the implications of different options honestly and ensure we understood exactly what we were signing.
In a world where many things feel automated and transactional, this reminded me why good brokers still matter. Trust, guidance and human judgement have real value — especially when dealing with something as important as protecting your home and family assets.
Chloe is exactly the kind of person who reinforces the value of working with a local Irish broker like McCarthy Insurance Group.
Many thanks again Chloe for the care, professionalism and timely support throughout.

Worked with Shaun for Health Insurance
We worked with Shaun Taggart over several months to secure a health plan for our relocation to Ireland. Shaun was very patient and clear in his communication, and was very prompt and helpful in his responses to our questions. We will definitely be using MIG for other insurance needs as we settle in Ireland.
